must be some mistake about the am[oun]t; when I
sent the girl on April 26th I deposited one
hundred & thirteen 33/100 dollars for which I have
a receipt signed by N. G. Tunley [illegible] in
the College. she has been with you Eighty five
days up to your telegram, making the full
am[oun]t which is stated in your dispatch at
five dollar per day, unless you have charged
more than that am[oun]t. I have sent you a
surplus of one hundred & thirteen dollars
if such be the case please turn it
over to Mr Saml R. Adams of the firm
Robinson & Adams & Co & please state to him
if he can not sell the girl send her
home by express
Yours Respectfully
A.J. Ellis Capt
Com[mandin]g Ellis' Battery

the receipt & state whether
or not you charged
more than the five
[dollars agreed u]pon
